Key safety controls for installing ceiling insulation in Australian homes and buildings.
Ceiling insulation work in Australia is safety-critical. Ceiling spaces contain heat, live electrical services and potentially hazardous materials.
Heat stress, electrical contact, fragile surfaces, dust, hazardous materials and manual handling injuries are all real risks in ceiling spaces.
Isolation of relevant services, appropriate PPE, safe access, hazard identification and safe work method statements are typical baseline controls.
The Retrofit Insulation Course prepares installers to work safely in ceiling spaces, with a strong focus on hazard awareness and installation readiness.
